Should I replace these before my next track day?

Title says it all...

Goodyear Eagle Supercar 3's on the front of a stock ZL1. Tires have 4 track days and 4k miles on them. Rears were changed recently and are fine.






Should I change them before my event on Saturday?

Thanks for the reply... I was worried cause the outer grooves are completely gone and the inners are almost completely gone. Don't want them to cord on track.

I've been getting faster on these so I don't think they are heat cycled out

I don't know how hard willow is on tires but I would highly recommend different tires than those or bring a back up set of wheels tires to the track.

Last think I want is to pack for the trip, get up early, drive to the track, hotel cost, gas costs, food costs and to have a know issue stop your "fun" parts of the event.

If I had another back up set of wheels and tires I'd run the tires in the pick on track myself to fully wear them out.

It's only an hour away so I'm not too worried. But yeah I have an extra set of tires (not wheels) and I could probably get them mounted somewhere nearby

For anyone interested after reading a bit more I'm going to change them. The tires have small holes in the inner and outer tread blocks similar to slicks that provide true tread life indication. The inside holes are gone on the drivers tire and barely visible on the passenger tire (probably slightly uneven due to track directions) - so better safe than sorry

Yeah it's a tight & bumpy track for sure. Good for our cars although I bet you'd get bumped around in a lowered race car. Didn't see potholes there last time I went in December though.. lol

The outside has plenty of rubber left. The inside looks a bit torn up, likely from daily driving or from toe wear. But I'd definitely track them until there's a bit of cord showing. They are fast until they are done.
